    Flat earth. At the point we’re at now when it comes to personally accessible technology, anyone still believing it is 100% making a choice to do so, because it makes them feel better about things for some reason.

      The Social Tilemma touched on this. Weird shit would get popular and invode your Facebook feed. I’ve never seen anything real about it, I don’t use Facebook, Instagram or tiktok, have only seen memes making fun of flat earthers.

      Fucking crazy that idea like Pizza gate took off the way it did, idiots I tell you. Being fed dogshit and eating it up like they’re starving.

      You don’t even need technology. You just need to get out of the city and out of a car and look at some far away mountains on a clear day.

        the dunes at the beach, three layers, water, sand dunes, and trees atop them.

        the sandunes disappear first, then the trees. if it was flat, they would both converge at the sea level with straight lines (with some irregularities because the beach isn’t a straight line).

        and that’s just one way. with zero tech, or even measurements.

      Yeah dude have you read through the satanic rituals those pedos have apparently done and who’s on that Epstein list? Turns out pizzagate is real it’s just not as those MAGA idiots thought, everyone is part of it, red or blue doesn’t matter. Turns out there is indeed a shadow elite apparently doing ritualistic murders and running child sex trafficking rings. Turns out this chart is bullshit.

      Is the “they won’t let us see the tapes of the Pentagon impact” part of Steel Beams, or is it a new one so it’s tried separately? “Spotted tail numbers” too? Midnight Gold Shipments? Like, is all the 9/11 stuff lumped in under that, or are they free to be their own weirdness as long as they neither depend nor provide for an adjacent whackadoo theory?

      What IS the associative rule for independent whackadoo theories ?

          Ugh. It’s always everyone except the ones who are actually guilty.

          I feel like Epstein and Associates were probably peddling all these conspiracy theories to make them sound ludicrous, so that if/when their own dealings became discovered people would be less likely to be credulous.

          That’s what’s really insidious about all this constant projection and “accusations in a mirror.” Not only does it destroy innocent reputations, it also burns people out so that the real villains get lost in the noise.

      Pretty cool chart.

      I feel like Roswell, UFOs, and Area 51 belong in the yellow science denial section. Yes they’re commonly held beliefs, but any science person I’ve seen offer an opinion says there’s probably life elsewhere in the galaxy but it doesn’t visit Earth.

      I don’t think the “moon landing was faked” is here anywhere?

        To answer the question as written: no, you don’t (didn’t) think it was here anywhere. I’m pretty certain of my answer. Glad I could help clear that up.

      Man that chart has not aged well at all, just in the last few years. Also the artist’s motivations are pretty visible.

      Most of these are hyper-exaggerations of what real people believe. Or purposeful misunderstandings of the underlying point. Take ‘Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams’ for example. Used since its inception as a meme to undermine 9/11 conspiracy theories.

      Ultimately this is a tactic in itself. My conspiracy theory is that all the antisemetic theories, insane-sounding theories, theories that have no attachment to reality, rothschilds etc, are not perpetuated by ordinary people (though they unwittingly participate). They are perpetuated by the very parties the conspiracies are about. If someone hears that being a 9/11 truther is inextricably linked to antisemitism, and they think of themselves as a good person, they’ll shy away from ever looking into it any further than that; it’s a normal reaction if someonebis already stressed, busy, or otherwise precluded from more critical thought.

      Edit: Yes some of these are totally insane, I am just referring to things that have roots firmly in reality.

        Isn’t there evidence that Epstein himself met with moot to kick off Pizzagate?

      “Antisemitic point of no return”

      It could’ve been something related to thinking that that ethnic group of brown people in West Asia, you know, Semites, deserve to die and Deus Vult and etc etc but of course it’s some Zio nonsense, lol. I mean what else could it be if it’s part of the Western narrative shelf.

      And, of course:

        if we’re talking about jews running the world and invented woke to weaken the white race, then yhea, seek help or a tall ledge to jump off.

        if it is just antizionism and some cunt tells you that’s antisemitism, tell them to get help or to find a ledge.

          I agree, of course. “Jews run the world” but Israel is a colony created by the unholy union of the British and French and currently propped up and managed by the other diabolical Western European spawn, the USA. 🤷

          Even the terms “Jew” and “Semite” mean nothing (done on purpose so the spin can be effective), because the vast majority of self-identifying Jews are atheists, lol, and the ones that have colonized the West Bank are just Western and Eastern Europeans who believe in the law of the jungle (not the law of Moses), not Semites (which are the locals getting murdered by the West regularly since at least the days of the Crusades). And of course neither being an atheist nor being Eastern or Western European are reason enough to hate anyone, but the people who hate “da joos” in the West think they’re neither when they’re basically the same group of people (these “Semites” are not Semitic, sure, but they’re not Chinese or Nigerian either but pretty obviously European, and Tel Aviv is the gay capital of West Asia). Oh well.

            semites as a way to refer to Jews comes from the scientific racism movement. and the term antisemitism came from that.

            technically, Palestinians are semites so Israel is antisemitic. but by now we are playing so much with the meaning of words those words are useless.

            also, calling anything in Israel a gay capital is pure BS propaganda. not only gay marriage isn’t allowed there, the antimiscenegation laws are so strict that many Israeli jews with Russian descend aren’t allowed to get married in Israel.

      I feel like this chart covers most of them, but needs a different distinction. Which ones are fun to invoke in converstion to play off the crazy and obes that ate actually off the deep end.

      For example, chemtrails is a vintage conspiracy thory, its been around for a while and most people can casually make fun of it. I cant make jokes about half of that top row because most normal people just know what most of those words even mean, let alone the contents of the conspiracy.

    I’m surprised the Epstein isn’t dead theory isn’t more popular. The conspiracy protecting him was finally unambiguously uncovered to be real, then the FBI released doctored footage the cell he “committed suicide” in. No funeral. No nothing. Just confirmation that all the most richest people in the world are implicated and have the means to cover it up

    I don’t know if “celebs moisturize with children’s foreskin” is totally detached from reality.

    Now it probably isn’t what a lot of the people who get worked up about this are thinking, but there are beauty treatments and products out there that do in fact use ingredients that are sometimes derived from infant foreskins.
